How to prepare Seafood Gnocchi

To prepare the seafood gnocchi, you can start with the cleaning of mussels and cleaning of clams. Then in a very large pot or pan, pour the oil, the whole garlic clove, and the mussels 1. Also add the clams 2 and let them open by covering with a lid 3, occasionally shaking the pan. It will take just a few minutes.

Once opened 4, you can drain them and pour the filtered liquid into a pot adding enough water to then boil the gnocchi 5. Proceed to shell the mussels and clams (you can keep some whole to decorate the dishes). Then take the squid already cleaned and skinned, detach the head and keep the tentacles 6.

Remove the eyes and cut the mantle into rings 7, then cut the tentacles into pieces. Move on to the shrimp: remove the heads 8, shells 9, and intestines.

Pour a drizzle of oil into the same pan as before, add the squid 10 and sauté for a few moments, salting and stirring with a wooden spoon; they just need to be sealed. Then add the shrimp 11 and sauté for a few more moments, before deglazing with white wine 12.

Once the alcohol has evaporated, you can add the tomato paste 13, dilute with cooking water, then stir and you're ready to boil the gnocchi (for the time indicated on the package) 15.

In the last moments of cooking, add the mussels and clams 16 to the squid and shrimp sauce, turn off the heat and drain the gnocchi directly into the pan 17, season with pepper to taste and fresh basil leaves 18 and dress with a drizzle of raw oil. The seafood gnocchi are ready to be served!

How to store

It is recommended to consume the seafood gnocchi immediately. They can be stored in the fridge for 1 day in an airtight container. Freezing is not recommended.

Tips

You can season it with parsley instead of basil. You can use a peeled tomato or two instead of the tomato paste, although the result will be different. Alternatively, you can proceed without tomatoes!
